Rock Around The Cradle For Your Wedding

Let’s hope the weather improves tomorrow, but even if it rains make your way to Toadbury Hall for some true English Country Style setting to meet the Toadbury Team, sample gorgeous canapes and sorbets, have a cup of coffee and meet some great wedding suppliers.

What more, a professional photographer Kat Forsyth will be at the venue to take some fun photos of the couples! So come over and experience just how rocking wedding planning can be!

Rock Around The Cradle For Your Wedding Day 1

The Rock Around The Cradle Day 1 was today, and the weather was miserable. Luckily, the gorgeous fire at Toadbury Hall warmed everyone up. The mood at Toadbury Hall was cheerful despite the rain. The couples were invited to chat to the co-ordinators about their wedding plans, and meet a few suppliers too.

One of the treats in store for the couples was an impromptu shoot with a professional wedding photographer Annalene Rautenbach of Moments By Annalene with fun props, after Sam of Lashline Make-Up touched up ladies make-up.

Let’s start at the very beginning. It’s a very good place to start.

So, the guy has been met. Love has happened, and the engagement ring is shimmering oh so proudly on my finger. Bliss.

But now what? Where do you start with something so big? I mean, movies have been made, books have been written, fairy tales have been told and retold a million times over. Someone feeling a little bit of pressure? I mean, it is, after all, my wedding day! The day little girls across the world dream of, the day I get to be a queen the entire day, and in my books, the 3 weeks leading up to it as well, I mean you have to milk it a bit… The day I have to plan?

Little girls dream??

When I was a little girl I never imagined or dreamt about my wedding. I never thought about a huge white puffy dress, the long walk down the aisle, and the momentous flower arrangements for the chapel and reception. I never thought I would ultimately get married, and I NEVER thought I would get married young. This leaves me in a really awkward position because I am planning my wedding, and unlike a lot of other ladies I don’t have a foolproof blueprint in my head! I have not found a dress, bridesmaid’s dresses, chapel, priest, videographer, flowers, décor… the list just goes on, it almost seems like it is never ending…
